R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Seems like this really needs a strict and a lax mode. Perhaps a BrowserCookie class that implements the relaxed rules?
That would make this a feature request, though, and so nothing would happen until 3.3, which would be unfortunate. It is certainly possible to create a more relaxed version for your own use. It seems to me that (untested): class BrowserCookie(BaseCookie): def set(self, key, val, coded_val, LegalChars=_LegalChars+':'): super().set(key, val, coded_val, LegalChars) would do most of what And Clover wants (not adding or stripping quotes or doing backslash quoting or encoding, accepting : in key names (and more characters could be added; the regex in the parsing step is fairly liberal)). Making further relaxations is difficult without poking in to module internals, though. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2193> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
